| Mental and Emotional Health is Important During Social Distancing
It's important to stay connected to family and friends during this challenging time. Don't forget to reach out if you are feeling alone, and don't forget to also check on those who might need some comfort, such as the elderly, those who are recovering from COVID-19, and people who live alone and who might be having a hard time in isolation. You can call the New Mexico Crisis and Access Line at 855-662-7474 if you need help. You can also visit: www.nmcrisisline.com/ for more online resources. |
